Obama and friends have plenty of influence over drilling on public lands, yet they have far less influence over drilling on private lands. Here are the facts on production over the past several years.
Public lands since 2009: Down 6% through 2013
Private lands since 2009: Up 61% through 2013
Now, Obama and friends are claiming that they are responsible for increases in oil and gas production, but now you know better. After 2014, production on public lands is expected to be down about 10%, and on private lands up about 85%.
